Representative Text

1 God bless our native land,
Her strength and glory stand
Ever in Thee!
Her faith and laws be pure,
Her throne and hearts secure;
And let her name endure--
Home of the free.

2 God guard our sea-girt land,
And save by Thy right hand
From all her foes;
The reign of peace prolong,
Till freedom's rising song
Loud tells the end of wrong
And nature's throes!

3 God smile upon our land,
And countless as the sand
Her blessings be!
Arise, O Lord most high!
And call her children nigh,
Till heart and voice reply--
Glory to Thee.

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
